Gansu's Sunan beckons with grotto art, diverse landscapes, and more

Most of the grottoes were chiseled into cliffs, such as the North Matisi Grottoes, which were carved into a 100-meter-high cliff. The 21 caves are arranged in seven stories, with statues in every story, of both Tibetan Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism. Visitors have to climb narrow stone stairs to see the top grotto's Bodhisattva Lyudumu in a shrine.
